Greensboro resident Orson Scott Card is among the most popular writers of fiction today. Starting out in the science fiction genre and later fantasy, he is best known for Ender’s Game, one of the most popular sci-fi novels ever published. Ender’s Game, along with its sequel, Speaker for the Dead, both earned Hugo and Nebula awards, making Card the first author to ever win both prizes in consecutive years. More recently, Card has branched out into contemporary fiction and even comic books. This unique biography includes personal interviews, insightful quotes, and perhaps most importantly Card’s perspective on the writer’s craft.
Anyone lucky enough to have heard Card speak can attest to his dynamic magnetism. Introducing readers to Card and his books may be the best way to stimulate even reluctant readers.
